1 Scope and application

This standard specifies the requirements for hot-rolled deformed rerolled steel bars used for
concrete reinforcement.

3 Classification

Deformed rerolled steel bars shall be classified into grades 170 and 230.

4 Requirements

4.1 Materials - Rerolled steel bars shall be manufactured by rerolling any of the following
materials:

a) grade 230 and 275 billets

b) ship plates from classified vessels
c) structural grade steels
d) reject steel plates and misrolled steels
e) Wire rods

4.2 Mechanical properties - Rerolled steel bars shall conform to the mechanical requirements
specified in table 1.

4.3 Appearance

4.3.1 The steel bars shall be free from defects injurious to use.
 CDPNS 211:2001

4.3.2 Rust, seams, surface irregularities, or mill scale shall not cause rejection, provided the mass,
dimensions, cross-sectional area and tensile properties are not less than the requirements of this
standard.

4.4 Dimensions, mass and tolerance

The surface protrusions, (the axial protrusion among surface protrusions is called a rib and any
other, a lug) shape, size, mass and tolerances of deformed steel bars shall conform to the following:

4.4.1 The lugs shall be distributed over the entire length of the rerolled deformed bar at uniform
distances, and shall have the same shape and dimensions. When characters or the like are
embossed, the lugs at these locations may be omitted.

4.4.2 The angle of the lugs to the axis of the bar shall not be less than 45 degrees.

4.4.3 The spacing between the neighboring lugs of deformed bar shall be 7 mm.

4.4.4 The sum of the gaps of deformed bar shall not be more than 25% of the nominal perimeter
of deformed bar.

NOTE: If the rib and the lug are separated, and the deformed bar has no rib, the width of defect of
the lug shall be considered the gap, and if the lug and the rib are connected, the width of the rib shall
be considered to be the gap of the lug.

4.4.5 The minimum height of lug shall be 4.0% of the nominal diameter.

4.4.6 The size, unit mass and permissible limits of lugs shall conform to table 3.

4.5 Length and mass tolerance mass of steel bar

4.5.1 The length of the individual steel bar shall be 6 m and the tolerance shall be ? 40 mm.

4.5.2 The mass tolerance of one piece of steel bar shall be ? 10 percent.

4.5.3 The mass tolerance of one lot of steel bars shall be ? 7 percent.

5 Sampling

Sampling shall be in accordance with annex A of PNS 49.

6 Test methods

6.1 The deformation measurements shall be determined in accordance with annex B of PNS 49.

6.2 The steel bar shall be tested for mechanical properties in accordance with annex C of PNS
49.

7 Markings

7.1 Deformed bars shall bear the manufacturer’s mark and bar sizes as follows:

7.1.1 Name of company - A logo or symbol registered with the Bureau of Product Standards
(BPS) and/or the Intellectual Property Office (IPO).

7.1.2 Bar size - The nominal diameter itself or color code.

7.1.3 Each bar shall have additional size marking, as follows:
